I have read an ariticle in Independet by Alex Pattle called "Will the Tokyo Olympics go ahead in 2021?". It left about 200 days until the the scheduled start date of the 2020 Olympics, but the decision whether or not to take place hasn't been made yet. They are to be held in Tokyo, but few days ago the Japanese Prime Minister implemented state of emergency there, owing to an alarming spread of Covid-19 cases. The delay will cost almost 3 billion dollars.
In my opinion The Tokyo Olympics should take place but without the audience. And so in most countries training and matches are held. The Olympic wouldn't be much different from currently playing matches. I know that the cost of lack of audience will be big but not as big as it would be when the whole entertainment will be delay.

Wouldn't it be better to delay the Olympics and have them next year, with audiences and the other usual features? What fun is it to compete in front of no one?
